174-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 174 acres wrapped in 2 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 63% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. La Côte-de-Beaupré MRC claims this one. Lac Franchère sits 1 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 26 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin.
